Hatty? Nah. But let’s have some fun. What do you think this guy’s name really is? He does have a name and it’s not something that I totally made up (like Saint Dane). Think of it more as a title. If somebody guesses it, I’ll let you know. (If you’ve read the advance copy, don’t post the name, okay? That’s cheating.)
The guy on the Morpheus Road cover.

Joe says:
Torchdude, man torch, the torch, flames, torcher, scorcher, torchie, and lantern-those are my best bets
Joe says:
oooh! and firecracker! sounds kinda, idk, jumpy to me
Joe says:
unless he doesn’t carry a torch, oh well. But a bad guy carrying a torch sounds pretty cool to me! (:
Joe says:
Master Torch? ok i’ll stop
Kevin says:
The guys name is Hunter, Phantom Menace,Phantom Master,
Kevin says:
or The Grim Reaper, or the Scyth,or The Reaper
Kevin says:
The Angel Of Death maybe
Sean says:
No clue. Hatty???? LOL Idk
Saint Dane says:
my idea is the Morpheus or The Morpheus. As it is says it more a Title
Raymundus says:
Soul Harvester….
The only things I can see is wings, hat, trenchcoat(fashionable one too I might add) And he is a skeleton.
The Angel of the Plague….
Abaddon…
If I had to name him though I would say…Collector. Not scary but it gets the job done.
Raymundus says:
Sorry for double posting, But a couple other names and an item I missed. Charon( not sure if someone said that yet), Thanatos.
And chains!!! There be chains in yonder background!!
Arsenic says:
okay… I’m new to this… but going by it’s not random… I’m gonna say. let’s see, it looks like he’s wearing some sort of mask.. so Phantom?…. of course, if it’s a double name, then it might be Phantom Scythe…. idk.. possibly lets see, what are some famous Items.. I’m guessing an apple.. so he could be like iris or something… or a box.. so his name could be pandora. yeah that’s my final guess is pandora. because I think that’s a wrestlers name too
Stephon-gcb says:
I’m going with either
-Gernade
-Soul slasher (you know related to swords and all)
or
– Strangller (like if he strangles people with ropes)
D.J. MacHale says:
Okay, here’s a clue. The thing this guy always has with him is a gleaming, sharp, silver pick axe.
Arsenic says:
miner 49er, um… grr… how about Miner of souls. The underminer. idk anymore.
Human Torch 2 says:
A harbinger of death who carries a gleaming silver pick axe? That rules out the Reaper and the Undertaker. And you’ve already said it isn’t Saint Dane. Is it someone from the Ghostbusters franchise perhaps? I honestly have no idea who this guy is now. You said my first post was closest, Mr. MacHale. Would you care to elaborate on that?
Ashley says:
Arsenic and Torch: I think that Underminer might just be it. Torch said something about “Undertaker”, so Underminer is pretty dang close.
DJ says:
Getting warmer.
Human Torch 2 says:
Okay, just to clarify, is this guy a ghost, or still alive?
Oh, and Ashley, the only “Underminer” I could find on the web is a character from Disney and Pixar’s The Incredibles. He is described as a Mole Man-type character more than a Reaper-type.
Arsenic says:
hmmm if it isn’t underminer… instead of under… it could be
Subminer, much like the submariner, or it could be TerraneanMiner… as in the latter form of the word, but now I’m just going blindly. I probably had it closer with underminer…
Ela says:
I don’t think he stole the name from another franchise, Torch. For copyright and originality reasons.
So how about… the Soul Miner? (That sounds like a bad pun, haha!)
Perhaps something about the Underworld?
Charly says:
I’m going to guess Hades. On some sites it says that he is sometimes shown with a two-pronged pick axe.
Swiffy says:
Wow! I said Underminer before, but had no idea how close I was. And yes, I got the idea from Disney/Pixar’s The Incredibles. So I went to thesaurus.com. Everyone is changing the word “under”, so I thought, why not change “miner”? Here’s what I came up with:
Underdigger
Undercollier
Underdredger
Underexcavator
Underprospector
Undersapper
Maybe not, but who knows?
Arsenic says:
in that sense you could also do subdigger subcollier subdredger subexcavator subprospector or subsapper, although you could go the route with subprospector and make it sub pro specter… like a ghost.
DJ says:
Oh man! SO CLOSE!
If nobody nails it by tomorrow, I’ll post the name.
Swiffy says:
How close?! Which one?! I don’t know which one to change around!
Swiffy says:
Should there be the word “The” in front of it?
The Underdredger
The Subdredger
The Subterraineanminer
The Subterrainean Miner
After that, I’ve got no clue.
Arsenic says:
Terranainean Specter? idk.. i’m really running out of ideas.. but I’m starting to think he’s leading us off on a rabbit trail…
I think his name is mr. giggles. that face is a mask and underneath is a scarred clown face.
D.J. MacHale says:
No “The”.
FireGirl20 says:
I’m going to guess Morpheus.
It can be a name, and I think it is a pretty cool name for someone or something. : )
Thomas Howe says:
Picker? Digger?
Arsenic says:
instead of terraniean it could be subteresstrial… that could be the name or subMarine… lol or SubZero. like for cold effect…
or Underdog… or Under drill
or SubDigger extra terrestrial … or e.t. lol.
Charly says:
I’m going to guess Underlord.
Ela says:
Grave Digger?
DJ says:
BINGO! The winner is…Ela.
The guy on the cover is Gravedigger.
Ela says:
AWWWW RIGHT!
Hey, he’s not named after that monster truck is he?
Swiffy says:
Ah! I get it. Undertaker is Gravedigger! Makes sense. Wow. I’m glad someone guessed it!
Ashley says:
Dang… now I can’t call him “Hatty” anymore… But, at least it seems scarier…
Arsenic says:
aww man.. that’s a pretty rad name though
Arsenic says:
btw I still think mr. giggles is a winning name though
laithe says:
gravedigger………………. hmmm I like that its nice and catchy you know not to comical and not super evil. though some funky Latin word might work too and it also goes with the picture on the cover
Stephon-gcb says:
does he work at a symmitary?
Human Torch 2 says:
I’ve been to my share of funerals, but not once has a member of the gravedigging crew used a pick-axe. Usually they used backhoes or excavators, depending on the size of the hole being dug.
Ela says:
GD is straight up old school, Torch. He digs it with his hands like a real man.
Max says:
D.J. that is the coolest name ever! cant wait to read another book from my favorite author!
Chad says:
So who is Morpheus then?
Raphael says:
Lol, I thought he was Skullduggery Pleasant.
FireGirl20 says:
I agree with chad. Who is Morpheus? : )
Edward Worton N.J. says:
Gravedigger…great name. but yea, who IS Morpheus? and where do you come up with suc great names?
Edward Worton N.J. says:
sorry i meant “such” where do you come up with SUCH great names?
